It's great for hiking, swimming, and taking it easy, but there is also enough sightseeing if you want to explore.
The two main settlements in Serifos are Livadi, the port town, and the stunning Chora, built up on the side of a hill. You will find most of the accommodation on the island, as well as many tavernas, cafes and bars. In fact, you might discover more nightlife in Serifos than is obvious at first sight.
There are several ferries from Athens to Serifos daily, after which they continue to Sifnos and some other Greek Cyclades islands. As a result, Serifos is easy to include in an island-hopping itinerary.
